Route Development Manager Jobs in Edmond, OK (NOW HIRING)

POSITION SUMMARY

The Business Development Representative is responsible for creating and developing new client opportunities through cold calling, territory canvassing, networking, and in-person visits. You will introduce Jani-King's services to local businesses, identify potential facility needs, and schedule qualified appointments for our sales executives.

You'll serve as the bridge between first contact and closed deals, helping lay the groundwork for long-term client relationships. Each day combines strategic planning with active outreach — from mapping territories and researching prospects to making meaningful connections with business leaders both in person and over the phone.

AVAILABLE MARKETS

This position is based out of one of Jani-King's regional offices. You'll work in a dynamic environment that combines in-office collaboration with active fieldwork throughout your assigned territory. In the office, you'll plan prospecting routes, research potential clients, log activity in the CRM, and collaborate with leadership on strategy. In the field, you'll meet face-to-face with business owners and attend local networking events.

This is not a desk-bound role. You'll spend a significant portion of your time out in the community building relationships, representing our brand, and identifying new opportunities for growth.
